Sydney Harter has long awaited September 12th, 2033--her eighteenth birthday. She can finally apply for guardianship of her sister, who is her only family and entire world. She hopes they will be lawfully reunited, but is prepared to defy authority and risk everything to escape the captivity of Miles County so that they can be together.
Escaping will be difficult and dangerous. Citizens are bound to their county by sophisticated chip implants that deliver shocks to those who dare to cross the electric barrier. Sydney is very clever, but her trickery is limited against the all-seeing eyes of technology. Even if they were to survive the escape, disappearing into the forgotten forests and towns of the past seems an impossible task.
What Sydney doesn't know is that she is the particular interest of two opposing forces. With deceit, fear, and warfare surrounding her--can she trust the party that aims to help with her fight against the other? Can she open her heart to receive and return unexpected love? When her sister's life becomes jeopardized, Sydney will have to weigh a new love against the only enduring love she has known. The cost could be deadly...
How will she choose?
Review"Arrowsmith truly embodies all the emotions we as humans feel and she brings to life her characters realistically and believably." -Exploring the Mind
"I really enjoyed seeing Gabrielle's version of a future America... I loved how she made some of the changes seem like they really could happen, because not only did it add world development, but it gave the book a chilling and scary aspect." -Lauren's Crammed Bookshelf
"I really love YA books that, though great for young people, are also interesting and well written enough for adults to read." -Roses & Butterflies
From the AuthorLet me begin by sending a world of thanks to my dedicated readers. Being a novelist is truly a dream, and one that could not have been achieved without the words of encouragement and professional feedback from all of those who have believed in me.
Writing "Concealed in the Shadows," my debut novel, was one of the most fulling times of my life. The premise for the novel occurred to me years prior. Between that day and the day that I finally typed the opening line, the plot and characters had developed so much to my liking that I simply had to see the novel through to the end.
As with the first installment, new characters and plot twists introduce themselves to me daily. I am enjoying the process of writing the "Concealed in the Shadows" series so much that I foresee a long life of storytelling ahead of me.
I thank you, my faithful audience, for accompanying me on this journey now and in the years to come. :)
